Concealed fragility

The hardest times are just a laugh
for those eyes that never change
No anger, sadness, what so-ever
but secret signals they exchange

Her mind is strong and relentless

a safety net for life's mistakes

No smile of hatred ever crosses

She'll take all in and never breaks

when she knows you are awake

 

But at night when you're in dreams

she's in her single fragile state

as she cries herself to sleep

to escape the heavy weight

You turn around, touch her pillow

drenched in tears of pure despair

wake up suddenly all worried

as in peace you find her there

She has no sorrows left to bare

"And just because she comes off strong, doesn't mean she didn't fall asleep crying. And even though she acts like nothing's wrong, maybe she's just really good at lying."

    she's in her single fragile state
    as she cries herself to sleep"
